A south suburban Flossmoor man was ordered held without bail Tuesday in connection with the shooting death of two teens on Chicago's South Side Saturday, the result of a Facebook dispute over a phone cord, the mother of one of the victims told NBC 5.

Justin Hamilton, 23, was charged with two counts of first-degree murder for allegedly shooting and killing 16-year-old Jordan Means and 18-year-old Anthony Bankhead.

Means and Bankhead were found dead just after 10:30 a.m. in an apartment in the 8200 block of South Houston Avenue on the South Side, according to police and the Cook County medical examiner’s office. An autopsy revealed they were both shot in the head.

Means' mother, Camille Cochran, said the incident stemmed from an dispute that played out on online. Cochran said Hamilton and her son, a sophomore at James H Bowen High School, argued early Friday about a cell phone cord. That argument later spilled over to a Facebook chat, she said.

Authorities said there is another person involved with the case with whom they'd like to speak.
